That's about right,my 28 1/2" finished Birch arrows are all between 600-615gr.

I was just wondering if Poplar was heavier than POC,maybe similar in weight to Birch.I went to Birch for a heavier,tougher shaft than POC.

I'm not knocking any of the suppliers, but as expensive as so called matched shafts are ( and some are only spine matched, not weight matched ), I'll stick with dowels. You can't beat the price.

I might have considered matched shafts in the past if I wanted to make a set of arrows quickly. but after the HUGE price increase, I'll never buy a dowel with the title of arrow shaft, I'll just buy regular dowels and I'LL be the one that decides if they deserve the title of arrow shaft or not.

QuoteI can easily pick out the crooked ones when one of my buddies needs "that" extra arrow when their quivers are emptied. LOL.-ART B

This cracked me up, glad I wasn't sipping a drink when I read it LOL.  Thanks for a chuckling wake up this morning LOL.

Varmit, that Birch shafting was sent out 3 days ago by FedEx ground so you will have it by mid week. Please let me know when it arrives. You're going to love those shafts-they will produce a great hunting arrow.

Maybe I'll do Birch next and play with it for awhile. I still have hickory on my list of shaft materials to try too. I can see it now, 100 of these, 100 of those...I'll have to take up squirrel hunting again to make sure the wife doesn't complain about all the arrows lay'n around the house.    Next on my list is finding a turkey farm so I can fletch them all! We had one just out side of town. They when out of business or move about a year before I got in to traditional archery. Figures!  

Bjorn,


  Sounds good,I'll let you know when I get 'em.
